Bakumatsu Crisis
BAKUMATSU ~恋愛幕末カレシ 外伝~ クライシス
The Bakumatsu was an era in which the souls of young men burned with anxiety for their country's future. Takasugi Shinsaku, a soldier of fortune from Choshu, sneaks aboard a government ship with his comrade Katsura Kogorou in search of a mysterious "timepiece" with the power to manipulate time that he fears the government wishes to keep for themselves. Rather than allow such power to fall into the wrong hands, Takasugi plans to destroy the artifact, but having obtained it, the artifact is quickly stolen, forcing the pair to follow the mysterious thief to the seat of government in Kyoto. However, when they arrive in the capital, they discover that the government has been overthrown and the deity Susanoo now reigns in its place. The streets of the city and the people in them are much different than Takasugi and Katsura remembered. The times may have changed but their mission hasn't - Takasugi and Katsura resolve to reset time and save their nation from the nefarious forces trying to hijack it. (Source: Tokyo Otaku Mode)

If you thought Season 1 was a snooze, you're right. But as a completionist, I'd have to say, the moment that this series had a Season 2, like literally "TBC" right after Episode 12, this baffles me. With just an addition of a word plus some 12 odd episodes, I could not see this entire series being 2-cour with the amount of time that the production team and Studio Deen had on their hands. It was literally just "I have free time on my hands, give me some work to do!" And "work, work, work, work, work" they did. Bakumatsu "CRISIS" is as definite as itcomes: A continuation from Season 1 where the main protagonists realized that the main object, the chronometer has a life on its own, creating time-space drifts anywhere and anytime (plus anyhow) it wants to show off...more characters (the Susanoo commanders). Oh, and plus a "new" Mugensai. Great. Unfortunately (and fortunately for people who skip this, I applaud you), these 12 episodes create EVEN MORE snooze, and for completionists or people who wanna know what's this season has to offer, only the last 3 episodes provide the answer, and then again, is a drastic step down. AND I MEAN IT, because that is all it does. I won't go into the characters because there are too many, and they all have the same personality that these people started out with in Season 1. At least now with the power of the chronometer that oversees their future, they have plans now. Yay progress. Plus, their own chibi-style "Petit Clover" at the end of each episode, really is filler and serve no purpose other than to degenergate from the episodes, its runtime. And then again too, I don't need to talk about low-budget Studio Deen. Even with the production team staff change from Season 1, it really wasn't necessary, but in the case of creatives, it was the widest of long shots. And let the misses fire one after another. Art and animation? Crappy, unfinished (obviously unpolished) and lazy work. Even the action scenes were the same, if not worse than the prequel. In hindsight, the sound department got an upgrade with a tad better OP and ED, songs that suit the series' core so much better, and I actually like them quite a fair bit. If only the quality of the anime is as good as these songs. Overall, those 6 months watching the prequel and the sequel here just felt so wasted, but it's not surprising given the negativity that Season 1 has harboured (plus the higher MAL score count). There was so much that the team behind this could do in a Steins;Gate-ish setting (as opposed to the otome setting that the game advertises), and they missed it so badly off the charts.
